Taking a visual tour of the 2012 Chevy Sonic, you are sure to be impressed by its progressive exterior styling. Take a look at it from every angle - front, back, side and all areas in between. Then try to draw your eyes away, if you can. Raked lines, alloy wheels and a honeycomb grille give the Sonic a lively, self-assured presence on the road. Spawned from the Aveo RS concept, the Sonic has gone through several changes over the years, including a nameplate change. Last year, it replaced the Chevy Aveo and took its spot on car lots for the first time ever after debuting at the Paris Motor Show in 2010.
Gorgeous from all perspectives, the 2012 Sonic's sleek profile is giving new shape to the waning United States small car market. In a world where compact vehicles are becoming more and more desirable, General Motors has made a key move to develop a vehicle that's tough competition for subcompacts like the Ford Fiesta, Honda Fit and Mazda 2. The Sonic's creators did not skimp on the swank either; they designed an excellent small car with best-in-class spaciousness, sporty handling and a wealth of plush amenities. And with a low starting MSRP, the 2012 Chevy Sonic is also a terrific value.
The GM Sonic was developed for modern consumers who now face having to deal with rising fuel prices and a slumped economy. When it comes to cost cutting, subcompact cars are an appealing option because of their economical pricing and great fuel economy. Even at a low price, the Chevy Sonic comes with luxurious standard and available features like USB and Bluetooth functionality, heated seats and mirrors, MyChevrolet Mobile Apps, SiriusXM Satellite radio and more. The Sonic is available in two body styles: a four-door sedan and a five-door hatchback, both of which come in LS, LT and LTZ trims. You can find a great selection of new and used Chevy Sonic cars from Chevrolet dealers in Phoenix by browsing our inventory now.
The Chevy Sonic offers big-car perks in a petite, fuel-efficient package. Drivers will enjoy its smooth driving dynamics and library-quiet interior. Road noise and outside clamor are diminished thanks to special liquid-applied sound-deadening materials and noise-absorbing acoustic baffles, while a sturdy frame composed of 60 percent steel improves stability. The Sonic also shows off a roomy and comfortable cabin, as well as numerous safety features including brake assist, 10 standard air bags, electronic brake distribution and OnStar with Automatic Crash Response.
Additionally, the Sonic stands out with its power-dense under-the-hood setup. The 2012 Sonic was specially tuned by Chevy Corvette engineers, so it is no wonder that it delivers an athletic ride with surprisingly sharp handling. Peppy and efficient, the Sonic's Ecotec 1.4L turbo and Ecotec 1.8L engine achieve great fuel economy numbers without sacrificing performance. The 1.8L engine can be matched with a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission and the 1.4L turbo is paired with a six-speed manual transmission. All Chevy Sonic models are equipped with a stability enhancing MacPherson strut front suspension and an electronic power steering system that uses a wear compensator to improve steering action.
Beautiful to look at, fun to drive and well appointed, the GM Sonic is a clear winner. Though the Aveo name has been phased out, you can still find a stunning low-mileage small car with the Chevrolet badge.
